Accounting for the challenge against Pisa, AC Milan is putting the main focus not only on the fight for the top four places but also on the physical situation of some important elements of its squad. According to the latest updates from Milanello, Christian Pulisic does not seem to have fully recovered from the bursitis to the ileopsoas suffered at the beginning of last week and has been training separately. It is therefore to be considered in doubt his presence among the summoned players for the match against Pisa.

As for Alexis Saelemaekers, the Belgian underwent new examinations that showed a positive evolution of the adductor problem he suffered at the end of the first half in the match against Roma, which forced the outfielder to skip the away match in Bologna. Also for him today only personalized training, the convocation for the next match remains difficult.

Good news, on the other hand, is coming on the Rafael Leao front: the Rossoneri number 10 is still struggling with an inflammation in his adductors, first suffered in the December match against Torino. The Rossoneri medical staff is managing the striker’s situation to prevent the onset of pubalgia, a true black beast for any footballer. After missing the Bologna match as a precautionary measure, the talented Portuguese has returned to training with the group and is a candidate for a starting shirt for Friday’s match in Pisa.

Accordingly, Milan is preparing for the Pisa challenge between caution and hope. The conditions of Pulisic and Saelemaekers keep the medical staff on alert, while Leao’s return to the group restores enthusiasm and quality to the Rossoneri attack. The next few hours will be decisive in defining the list of summoned players, with the goal of facing a tricky away match with newfound certainties and ambitions intact.
